Pallaton Black Belts

​Here’s what I admire about every person that has a black belt from Pallaton (where I got my black belt). They show up for each other, and not just the black belts. Whether it’s a tournament, covering a class, a kids sporting event, or a celebration of something, Pallaton shows up. It’s probably why I feel so strongly that coaches should show up for their athletes. I go to tournaments all the time and don’t see coaches for a lot of people that’s so strange to me. At the very least send someone who knows what they’re doing to shout instructions. Even in terms of classes, if there is anything more than an instructor and a bunch of white belts, there’s no reason class should be canceled because you can’t find someone to teach. It’s reciprocal, by showing up when other people need you, they show up when you need them. Honestly, someone can make the time if they want to, I know because I’m a Pallaton black belt.
